Steam stimulates the immune system by causing the body to produce more white blood cells, which helps the body to fight against common colds and other diseases. Steam also stimulates lymph systems by increasing blood circulation in your body, which helps with weight loss and tones and improves the function of all of the body’s organs. It has a positive effect on the skin by purging toxins out of the body by sweating, leaving your skin cleaner and looking younger inside out.

The moist heat also increases the effect of certain body treatments, enhancing ayurvedic and mud treatments. Essential oils are atomized with the steam and are absorbed into your body through the skin and by inhalation, increasing the healing benefits of steam.

Steam bathing will not only help you relax and relieve stress, but also relieve tired, stiff muscles and can be used in the rehabilitation of certain sports injuries. It can even reduce the stiffness and pain associated with a sedentary lifestyle. [More]

Steam Rooms

Bathing in saunas and steam rooms is all about bathing in heat and steam and the fundamental differences between them are the amount of moisture present in the air and the temperature. Essentially, the heat in the sauna is a dry heat while the heat in the steam room is a wet heat. With both sauna and steam room, relaxation is the keynote. As soon as you step into your steam room or sauna, the warmth opens the pores of the skin, creating a flow of perspiration lifting out the grime of everyday life. Your skin is cleansed and toned leaving it feeling soft, supple and healthy and you emerge rested and rejuvenated, ready to take on the world and all it can throw at you.

The only detoxification program that has proven successful in removing fat-stored toxins from the body is hyperthermia, or heat stress detoxification. Heat stress can also remove calcium deposits from the blood vessels and break down scar tissue from their walls.

Hypothermia can also remove chemicals such as DDE (a metabolite of DDT), PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), and dioxin from fat cells. Hyperthermia or heat stress detoxification can have a beneficial effect on numerous body systems, including the cardiovascular, endocrine, neurological, neuromuscular, bronchopulmonary (lungs), blood, skin, and immune.

The steam room aids in detoxification by creating artificial fever. it speeds up circulation and body cell metabolism thereby causing toxic wastes to be expelled through the skin. For best results, wrap yourself in a clean towel and sit or recline in a hot, but not painfully hot, steam room. Gently massage any painful areas. Cool gradually after leaving the steam room. To close your pores after a steam room visit, shower with cold water.

Drink plenty of purified water while in the steam room. [More]

Sauna Rooms

The original design of the sauna is a small room heated to about 80 degrees Celsius or about 176 degrees. It has been used for bathing as well as for mental and physical relaxation.

There are basically 5 kinds of saunas rooms. Pre-cut, for specific sizing, pre-built, for an area you want to put the sauna in with an ease of installation because much of it is done for you, portable, so you have flexibility of moving the sauna, outdoor, so you can save the area inside your house and put it outside, and Infrared saunas, the newest form of sauna.

Started in Finland over a thousand years ago, today, there are over 1.5 million saunas in private apartments in Finland. There are almost 1 sauna for every 2 people in Finland.

Infrared Saunas: FIR infrared ray energy is a part of the natural light spectrum of sunlight minus the skin damaging UV, which is why NASA spacecraft have utilized this heat. In Asia and Europe it has already revolutionized health and beauty products.

Far Infrared ray is a form of light energy from the sun. It falls within the same family of Infrared Ray in the light spectrum. But due to its longer wavelengths, FIR cannot be seen by human eyes, just like the Ultraviolet Rays. The energy is absolutely ESSENTIAL & BENEFICIAL for human beings and all living things in the world.

FIR has the ability to penetrate, refract, radiate & reflect. The human body can absorb FIR because of its deep penetrating ability. When FIR penetrates through the skin to the subcutaneous tissues, it transforms from light energy in to heat energy. The thermal effect within the deep layers of tissues cause blood vessels in capillaries to dilate, promoting a better blood circulation, and the heat so produced helps to get rid of body toxins and metabolic wastes through sweating

The advantage of the FIR sauna over a conventional sauna. A conventional sauna heats the air in the chamber to a very high temperature, which in turn heats our body. A FIR sauna works differently. Neither oxygen molecules nor nitrogen molecules in the air can block the FIR wave; therefore, the FIR unique wave length penetrates directly onto our body a couple of inches. It makes us feel quite warm and we perspire profusely, but our skin is not hurt by the hot air. Some heavy metals accumulate under our skin and the FIR sauna is very good for sweating out heavy metal deposits under our skin. [More]
